Anyone planning on going out on Thursday? Weather shows wind out of east. Will it be worth it? Coming from Rochester so don’t want to waste gas but itching to get out.

Don't know if it's going to be worth it but I'm going too. Just hope it's not so crowded as it has been.

Glad I stayed home. How did he fall out and then get back in? Dangerous in these cold waters. 

[Thumbburn]

Idk….. I saw his boat take a wave then I saw him fall over backwards…. He got in over the back…. Cpl boats rushed over there…. Never seen that

Got out this afternoon from 1:30 till 8:30 pm. Caught 4 eyes and 7 perch on harnesses. Bite was pretty tough compared to last week. Nice day.

[Stillwater]

Fished out of the Catt Wednesday from 3 till dark. Slow out at 70 to 80 fow. Moved in and east of the port around 7 pm and had much better screens in 60 to 65 fow. Ended up with 6 keepers, 1 short, 1 perch and 1 sheephead. All on harnesses. Best eye was 25 inches.

Did you ever get anything going out there on Monday?

[Stillwater]

I was out of the Catt this evening 4 till 8. Managed 4 keepers 15 to 22 inches. 1 short, 7 white bass, 1 perch. Had a good eye bite that cut the harness clean off. A little bumpy. Northeast wind and close together waves. Nice evening.
